Pennell was born December 1989 which makes him 23 years old.

His case is exaggerated to some extent as he exercised an NCAA clause that allowed a fifth year of undergraduate eligibility. He did not graduate with his class at Cornell in Spring 2013 by virtue of taking an "incomplete" in one of his senior year classes. (Remember that he broke his foot? Well, it turns out that Cornell and the Ivy League does not issue medical red shirts, so this was their way around that problem.)
